Ulaanbaatar south to China?
We're playing with a few ideas and one that has come up is riding to Ulaanbaatar from the west as discussed and then instead of heading north to Russia we turn right towards China. A tour company in China indicates that it is possible to join a group going from Erlynhot on the Mongolian border to Beijing and on south to Shanghai where we would catch a boat and the remainder continue on to Laos.
I haven't had much luck finding information on the road south in Mongolia. I notice that Walter's waypoints ( http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...aypoints-50860) don't show anything down that way either. So that means it is either easy to find fuel and accommodation or no-one has done it and reported waypoints. Does anyone have any information on this road? Is it similar to the "road" west or is it a truck route full of tractor-trailer rigs blasting along a paved road?
In our planning we have also budgeted about 10 days to cross from the west to Ulaanbaatar.
